"if i could define enlightenment briefly, i would say it is the quiet acceptance of what is" : )
That and knowing what you want vs what you need.
hey sweet - glad about that.
you know i wondered about that - i've been reading your posts to others the last week or 2 and i've noticed a new tone of serenity in them that i don't think was there before.
of course, if you read my last post you'll see that i'm nowhere near serene or enlightened
there is a dilemma there now isn't there - when it comes to the kids and meds - does one apply quiet acceptance there too or fight like a big fierce mama bear?
hmm, that would be a good one for the Buddha!!
and you saying 'nothing new" - how could that be true? there is new stuff everyday - even the quiet little everyday things that pass unnoticed. you should post about those sometimes too - they are more important than we sometimes give them credit for... and much more instrumental to our healing, don't you think?
good to hear from you
